Dazed and Confused Part 1

"Go!" he shouted as he swung his sword at the belly of a beast. Some of the Dwarfers took flight, some were more hesitent. Plisken shouted again but was cut off by a clawed fist smashing his side. He was sent flying into the tunnel wall and he felt some bones crack and his metal arm was definetly beyond use- not that it had been much use. Plisken dropped to the floor and his sword scattered along the rocks.

Jaxx lay on his back in the hot burning sun by the camp. He was weak with fever and unable to move or talk. His body was covered in sun burn, sun blisters, a green crusty film, sand and sweat. Since Seymour and Phi found Jaxx to dirty and heavy to move they just left him there, not to mention they didn't know if he was contagious. All Jaxx could do was lay helpless in the burning sun as his fever continued to burn his body from with in. He heard voices from some strangers but didn't know who they were or why they left him alone. As the pain was too much to bear he would drift off in to hallucinations.

Jaxx saw the world slowly melting around him. Up above he saw a large bird circling around him. As the bird got closer it started to change in shape till it looked like a gothic vulture woman. Eventually the bird landed by Jaxx and he saw it began pecking at him as he began to melt like ice cream left in the sun. The vulture woman continued to peck at Jaxx till he woke up and saw Phi poking him with a stick. He tried to tell her to stop but he had no strength. Eventually Phi stopped poking Jaxx with the stick and walked back to Seymour to let him know Jaxx was still alive.

Jaxx thought to himself, "Why is this happening to me? Where am I? The others don't seem to care if I live or die so I guess I had this coming. Hopefully it will be soon. I don't want to live like this. Suddenly Jaxx passed from the pain.
